Your Kindle warranty will be void because of these changes. The sound quality of the speakers will be greatly affected by having a hand strap covering the speaker grilles.

If you really want a hand strap then find a case with one or modify a case to have one. I don't see anybody buying a kit which would require you to void the warranty, glue directly to the Kindle and screw directly into the back.

The Kindle isn't designed for one handed operation anyway. You might be able to get a position where you can click the prev/next buttons but you've got no way to use the keyboard or 5 way pad.
i have used it one handed.it is awkward but can be done.if the bezel was smaller/removed it would be more comfortable but the page turn buttons are in the way.


you forgot i also would add superglue for extra strength and strap will not fully cover the grilles.

ALTERNATIVELY a transparent at the front plastic wallet which is open at the bottom could be used and the hand inserted from below.thus the kindle will be a extension of your hand.Like a tennis racket.

you could even use it for swatting fillies.

plastic wallets will make your hands sweaty.

a sideways open wallet could also be used but the other side of the wallet should be cut of to allow your hand to poke thru.

another method is to open the back case of the kindle and thread 3 or 4 very thin child shoe laces so that it resembles a strapy dress at the back.

or very thin black cable ties which are very strong could be threaded through the back.
